ASAP.

But in theory, you have 1 year, I believe.

If US Embassy doesn't receive anything from beneficiary/petitioner for 12 months, they will close the case with administrative denial.

But in reality, you have to follow up sooner because some of documents you sent may be expired if you delay a lot.

Usually it won't take that long to prepare for listed items. No more than 2~3 months.

Year? Go by the date on your NOA 2. Usually less than a year.

When that expires, your petition expires. That is why you have to contact them to extend the NOA 2, if needed. (sometimes the embassy will extend automatically, but ...)

My I-797 expires on August 02,2009.I am under AP , I am wondering if i will have to apply to extend it or is it automatically considered extended?

I would double check - since the embassy is "doing" the AP, they should extend it automatically - but better safe then sorry!

Iwent through ISL. We took about 3 weeks to submit our packet 3.

As for your petition expiring, ISL extends it automatically

good lucks,
